My MonBS issue 8 matures at the end of July too. I will let it mature. £6k is earning 6% better than starting from scratch. There's a risk that this RS will be taken off the shelf before end of July, but some other similar quality RS might pop out of MonBS of from somewhere else.

Judging by previous issues, Nationwide 15 M is likely to be withdrawn soon, so I wouldn't wait until the end of October (or November if you didn't open your 18 M at launch).

Skipton often offers "members" savers, so it is good to keep membership going. They always have £1 minimum balance accounts.

My initial £250 payment made Wednesday using the REG reference has appeared on my online account, along with the account number. Happened on Sunday. No third email to confirm that account opened (yet). Credit backdated to 3rd June.

It's 6% though. I believe the 7% one is NLA.

The one at 7% was the 'App Exclusive ' reg saver and, as above, is nla

and/or the supposed "Branch Exclusive" version that Bridlington1 found could be opened by post and kindly shared that info with us. 👍️

my MonBS 6% is already at £6k, but doesn't mature until the end of July - so i'll let it run through to maturity and then open another one after (if available).

Skipton often offer Member's savers - e.g a Bonus EA (possibly your one that just matured) and a Member's Regular Saver @ 5.75% - though you can't have both of their regular savers at the same time.

Do they still process maturity/closure and new account openings manually?
If so, do they pay the 7% interest until the date the maturity funds (principal + interest) are transferred to the (separate) savings account? In the past, I've contacted them on maturity date to transfer the funds promptly to my current (First) account, but wondering if I should let them take their sweet time this year.

saffron BS - anyone know if they still offer the 8% member loyalty regular saver? Couldn’t see on website and although found a link to it when googled, the follow on link didn’t work so guessing it’s an old one that nla.

It won't be available until September. Saffron BS decided to launch the Member Loyalty RS (8%?) during the September Savings Week.
